In many cases, that issue is due to users trying to open webpages with Symantec certificates that more recent Chrome versions no longer support. However, it can also be due to a few other factors that some users might be able to fix with the resolutions below.

How can I fix the NET::ERR_CERT_SYMANTEC_LEGACY error?

1. Open the page in another browser

As mentioned, if the page error arises due to antiquated Symantec certificates that Chrome (and Firefox) no longer support, there isn’t that much you can do to solve the issue. However, the same page will probably still work just fine in Opera, so, try opening the webpage in this browser. Opera is a great browser when it comes to fast browsing, online security, and customization features. Your device will be all-time protected from malware and annoying ads with the free VPN and built-in ad blocker. The way you can manage the opened tabs is pretty amazing as well. The workspace features, Search in tabs, and integrated Facebook and Instagram messenger allow you to optimize your work and keep everything only one click away.

2. Check Windows 10’s date and time settings

3. Turn off Chrome extensions

4. Turn off antivirus utilities

The ERR_CERT_SYMANTEC_LEGACY error might sometimes be caused by third-party antivirus utilities. Try temporarily turning off third-party antivirus software. You can usually do that by right-clicking the antivirus utility’s system tray icon and selecting a disable option. Thereafter, try opening the same website page in Chrome with the antivirus utility disabled.

5. Contact the website’s webmaster

If you can open the same webpage ok in an alternative browser, get in touch with the website’s webmaster. The website might include a contact link somewhere with which you can send an email to the webmaster. Tell the webmaster that you can’t open his website’s pages with Google Chrome due to an ERR_CERT_SYMANTEC_LEGACY error. Then the webmaster will probably realize that he needs to replace the certificate on the site with a new one to fix the issue. Those are a few potential fixes for when you can’t open web pages in Google Chrome. Do you have any other fixes for this? If so, you can state what they are in the comments section below.
